Actually, I designed the Dororo covers, all three- and now am hard at work on Tezuka's magnum opus "Black Jack" for Vertical press, where I just started as Art Director. I figgered, as long as i landed here, I might as well set the record straight!<BR/><BR/>Keep on keeping on,<BR/><BR/>Peter MendelsundAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11083453.post-80623733609263650332007-10-24T16:44:00.000-07:002007-10-24T16:44:00.000-07:00@bittermelon:HAHAHAHA.... touche!?that is why I th...@bittermelon:<BR/><BR/>HAHAHAHA.... touche!?<BR/><BR/>that is why I think you are awesome.Ryan Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11212185086058139671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11083453.post-66983657835836452322007-10-24T16:41:00.000-07:002007-10-24T16:41:00.000-07:00chip kidd?PFFFFTTTTTTTTzzzzzzchip kidd?<BR/><BR/>PFFFFTTTTTTTT<BR/><BR/>zzzzzzbittermelonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00031153956256101318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11083453.post-51322210267006489042007-10-23T22:18:00.000-07:002007-10-23T22:18:00.000-07:00@clay: it's true.

Incredible stuff! I love all the stuff he's done for Vertical's fiction books, and recently he did a great cover for Austin Grossman's Soon I Will Be Invincible. <BR/><BR/>@bryan: It's my least favorite of the Tezuka stuff released by Viz or Vertical-- Pretty epic, but it doesn't compare (art of story) to something like Ode to Kirihito, Adolf or Phoenix. THAT SAID, it's still a fucking brilliant tezuka manga.<BR/><BR/>Calling something my least favorite manga released in English by Tezuka, is like saying it's my least favorite color in a gorgeous rainbow made of gold; It's still definitely worth checking out!<BR/><BR/>@nate: INSANE IN THE MEMBRANE... INSANE IN THE BRAIN<BR/><BR/>@khursten: Oh yeah, and Chip even did some covers for Murakami novels (UK editions, etc). If you were struck by a mainstream book's cover design in the past 15 years, there's a REALLY GOOD chance it was done by this dude.Ryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01175574490647908108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11083453.post-33176560542831143842007-10-23T21:55:00.000-07:002007-10-23T21:55:00.000-07:00Holy!
